Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied! Daring to go against me, now I'll show that kid what I'm capable of!"

Zhao Aotian nodded excitedly, "Uncle Ding, you are so decisive. Unlike my dad, I don't know if it's because he's too old, he's getting more and more timid. He's so hesitant to deal with a new kid."

Ding Shengli smiled sinisterly and looked at Zhao Aotian as if he were a fool: "Aotian, your father is indeed getting old. If you have any problems in the future, you'll still have to come to your Uncle Ding. Don't worry, if anyone dares to mess with you in the future, Uncle Ding will take care of it for you."

He paused, then continued, "What you told me about your father a few days ago, was it all true?"

After dealing with Chen Jianming, Zhao Aotian was extremely pleased with himself.

He leaned back in his chair casually and said nonchalantly, "How could it be false? I know everything about the old man's affairs. But Uncle Ding, you won't tell my dad about this, will you? If he finds out, he probably won't let me off the hook."

Ding Shengli feigned friendliness: "Haha, don't worry, only the two of us know about this."

Zhao Aotian nodded in relief: "That's good. Thank you so much, Uncle Ding. I'll find you two pretty girls to keep you company later. I'll be going now; my buddies are waiting for me to play mahjong."

Ding Shengli watched Zhao Aotian leave and couldn't help but burst into excited laughter.

"Zhao Baoguo, Zhao Baoguo, how could such a shrewd man have such a stupid son? Hahaha, you've given me an opportunity."

"Using his father's dirty laundry to frame someone, if my son did that, I would beat him to death."

...

Chen Jianming was sitting comfortably at his workstation, chatting and drinking tea with Wang Hao.

Suddenly, the factory's loudspeaker blared!

"Attention all factory employees: Chen Jianming from the purchasing department has been criticized for talking back to his superiors. He has been sent to Workshop No. 1 for further reprimand."

The broadcast echoed throughout the entire factory area, repeating itself more than ten times before stopping.

"Is Chen Jianming the hero who caught the pickpocket a few days ago?"

"What's going on? Didn't the police personally deliver the award certificate back then? How come they're issuing a factory-wide reprimand now!"

Inside the factory, the workers were all very surprised and discussed it amongst themselves.

In Workshop No. 3, Han Lin was busy when she suddenly frowned and tugged at Shen Cui's sleeve: "Cuicui, what's going on? Do you think Jianming's criticism by the whole factory this time might be related to that sleazy Zhao Aotian?"

Shen Cui looked worried: "I don't know, I'll ask later."

The purchasing department was in an uproar after hearing the announcement.

"Who did Xiao Chen offend this time?"

"Damn, I chose sides too early. This kid's too restless; I wonder which leader he's offended this time!"

"A factory-wide reprimand is something that rarely happens in our entire factory."

The purchasing department staff whispered amongst themselves, their eyes frequently glancing at Chen Jianming.

Those colleagues who gave him gifts back then now feel a little sorry for him.

Aunt Niu and Aunt Ma, who had been keeping quiet for several days, immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this.

Aunt Niu beamed, "After enduring this for so long, I've finally gotten my revenge! It feels so good!"

Aunt Ma opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and chimed in, "Hehe, what did I tell you? He'd get what's coming to him sooner or later, and here it is!"

Wang Hao was drinking tea when he froze, hesitatingly asking, "Xiao Chen, what's going on? Did I hear that right?"

Xu Yun was also full of doubt: "Why would they issue a public reprimand for you out of the blue? That's too much. This kind of factory-wide reprimand usually happens when someone has committed a serious offense that caused significant losses to the factory. What's going on here?"

Chen Jianming frowned deeply. Not to mention them, even he didn't know what had happened.

"Could it be related to that bastard Zhao Aotian again?" he wondered to himself.

It all happened so suddenly that he was just as bewildered as everyone else.

Zhao Kui? That grandson probably doesn't have that kind of power.

Zhao Aotian? He's just the factory director's son; he doesn't have the ability to issue a factory-wide announcement.

He was filled with questions, and after thinking about it for a long time without being able to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Xu Yun said worriedly, "Xiao Chen, what are you planning to do? Are you really going to Workshop No. 1? That's not a good place. It's tiring and extremely hot. Not many people in the whole factory are willing to go there."

Chen Jianming smiled and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? If it doesn't work out, I'll just quit. It's not like this is the only factory in the capital."

Workshop No. 1? Anyone who wants to go can go.

At worst, I won't stay at the steel mill anymore.

Seeing that he could still laugh even at this point, Wang Hao was full of admiration.

He gave her a thumbs up and praised her repeatedly, "Xiao Chen, it has to be you. I'm impressed. You're not worried at all about such a big thing. If it were me, I'd be lucky not to cry right now."

He paused for a moment, then said, "But what you said is also true. With your skills, it doesn't matter where you work, why do you have to suffer in Workshop No. 1?"

"Alright, never mind all that, let's go eat."

Chen Jianming smiled faintly. Anyway, there was no point in thinking about it. When it was time to eat, he still had to eat.

He got up from his workstation, ignoring the stares of everyone in the department, and walked with Wang Hao toward the factory canteen.

...

Inside an unused office in the factory area.

Zhao Aotian sat at the table, a cigarette dangling from his lips, mahjong tiles in his hand, his expression smug.

"Brother Tian, ​​your food is here." A waiter came in carrying a tray.

Seeing this, Zhao Aotian pushed away the mahjong tiles in his hand and said happily, "I'm not playing anymore, let's eat first."

He was in a great mood after hearing the factory's announcement, and even his appetite improved.

"Brother Tian, ​​it has to be you. That kid surnamed Chen dared to provoke you; he was completely overestimating himself."

"Haha, yeah, Brother Tian, ​​that kid's going to cry now."

Several henchmen surrounded him, fawning over him with obsequious expressions.

Zhao Aotian picked up a chicken leg and took a big bite: "Hmph, this is what happens when you go against me. Dare to fight me? I'll make sure he's dead. So what if the old man doesn't care? With my connections in the factory, dealing with him is a piece of cake."

"That's right, who doesn't know that Brother Tian is the number one person in the factory, second only to the factory director? That kid dares to go against you; he's just asking for death."

"Once they get to Workshop Number One, that kid will realize how powerful you are, Brother Tian. He might even come begging to you then."

The henchmen all wore flattering expressions.

Zhao Aotian shoveled down a few mouthfuls of rice, thoroughly enjoying himself. He waved his hand and said smugly, "Alright, that kid is just a little rascal, I haven't taken him seriously. Now that he's out of the way, it's time to teach those little bastards a lesson."

He spat out a chicken bone and said fiercely, "Those little bastards dared to ignore me before? Now I'll show them who's the toughest!"

"You guys, spend more time wandering around the workshop, and step up your efforts. You have to make them my women!"
